How often we see farmer trying
to carry on more land than he can well
do; often double the number of acres
that he should have. 1t does not pay
to carry on farm in this fashion;
better pay taxes only on what you can
profitably till. Put the fertilizers on
fewer acres, raise larger crops. and YOU
will find it will pay great deal better.
